Me Made February – Recycled

Recycling is actually one of my favourite ‘crafting techniques’. Because it is ecological. Because it is cheap – or even for free. Because I think that it is creativity as its best to come up with new uses for old things!

So today as part of my Me Made Challenge I wear my sushi necklace. It is made from the little soy sauce containers, which you get with each sushi set.

I love sushi. I could eat it every day. For breakfast, lunch and dinner. And I also cannot throw anything cute away. So, you can imagine how many of these fish soy containers I have ;-) I thought a lot about what to do with these before I came up with the idea of turning them into necklace charms. I know it is quite unusual and quirky, some may say even weird. I hope, however, that it doesn’t look like trash art. If it does, please let me know. Because even though I love recycling, I don’t want to look like a bag lady ;-)
